Family reunions and get-togethers are best celebrated with healthy amounts of booze. We check out the top boozy brunches in town

Best forA party with brunch on the side. This once-a-month boozer is a daytime event with live DJ music, all-you-can-stomach food and drinks – some dishes are limited edition experiments. Advanced bookings are a must.

The drinksLots of beer, rosé wines, slushie drinks and sherbet cocktails, which are long drinks of tequila and rosemary.

The spreadMEATliquor's greatest hits like the Dead Hippie, buffalo wings, deep fried pickles and mac 'n' cheese, as well as Neh Neh Popsicles to end the meal. There are also inventions like the HDB Chicken Tower burger filled with deep fried chicken breast, slaw, a hashbrown, cheese and Russian dressing. Diners will also get a 'Baddy Bag' with MEATliquor swag and a visor – 'because it's going to be bright outside when you leave,' says the crew.

The damage$90 for food and booze, add $30 for champagne or unlimited shots.

The spreadA bounty of oysters, poke, prawns and more, as well as an array of cheeses and bread are up for the picking. Servers make the rounds offering small plates like furikake corn and smoked duck salad. Diners get a choice of breakfast-inspired inventions like the Adrift Benedict – onsen egg, bacon and miso hollandaise on vinegar-soured grilled rice cakes – ricotta pancakes with azuki bean ice cream, and crispy chicken and sweet potato waffles drizzled with maple-umeboshi syrup.

Best forLadies who brunch. The sunlight streaming in from the museum courtyard beautifully lights up the Art Deco-inspired interiors.

The drinksZardetto Prosecco, and white peach-flavoured Bellinis.

The spreadSix starter items to share, including truffle pesto-glazed trofie pasta twirls, crab cakes with tomato salsa and ridged garganelli tubes with duck ragù. Pick from black cod, beef sirloin and quail legs with beetroot-stained orzo for your mains. And if you can find the space, there are three types of desserts, including an indulgent Bailey's-spiked hazelnut feuillantine.

The damage$98 for free-flow drinks. A booze-free option is available at $48.

The spreadDizzying across seven stations. We're partial to the oyster selection (duh) and raw bar with meaty prawns and scallops on the half shell. The wok-fried rice, noodles, meats and fishes in the Chinese section are the surprising stars against the Sunday roasts and foie gras. And make sure to hit up early on cheese or you'll find yourself gathering crumbs and rinds by 3pm – they're that popular.

Best forDim sum paired with cocktails. Mitzo's not going to serve you dim sum made with magic fingers, but the restaurant is cool, and you get to play bartender and shake up your own tea-infused tipples.

The drinksAs many cocktails you can make, as well as a rotating line-up of cocktails like the Shiso Mojito, margarita with ginger, chilli and lemongrass, and the Singing Geisha with chrysanthemum syrup.

The spreadUnlimited servings of dim sum from a list of 40. Specialties include a signature barbecue pork with a crunchy caramelised top, hangover-busting double-boiled soups, as well as more modern dishes like wild mushroom and truffle buns.

Best forBrunch with a view. This semi-buffet, with sweeping views of the Marina basin, is designed to shore up memories of an Italian family dinner.

The drinksAs much Prosecco as you can sip down – the selection changes at each seating – and champagne for a $30 top-up.

The spreadAppetisers are seven sharing plates of items like charcuterie, live oysters, clam and mussel stews, and burrata. Second course is where things start to feel homelier, with servings of creamy saffron risotto, veal ravioli with porcini, and a gnocchi dish. Next, there are three mains – sea bass, spring chicken and pork belly – to choose from, before you adjourn to a dessert table of Italian favourites like tiramisu and panna cotta.

The damage$108 for Prosecco and $138 for champagne. Otherwise, it's $88 for four courses.

Best forThe wine fickle. Want a sparkly? How about a red or white? Why not have it all? You already love forking brunch at Ps Cafe's adults-only Ann Siang outlet, but booze makes the child-free escape sweeter.

The spread A brand new table of foie gras, paired ten ways with everything from figs to chocolate chips to yuzu. The butcher's station serves up all the Sunday roast you can stomach, including a tree trunk-like leg of wagyu crusted with mustard. The cheese selection has also grown to 30 in varying levels of appetising stinkiness.
